It is essential for all communications and to build strong relationships. To win the trust of management, the students initially have to add weight to their assumptions. For this problem, the solution is implementing the ‘Thinker club’.}}</span>

Everything in this world is not perfect. Each one has its own flaw. But the greatness in generating an innovative and effective idea is to correct the flaws in it in the first stage itself. So the initial stage of thinker club comes with an idea wall. The students display their Ideas and details on the IDEA wall website for a week. The rest of the students are given a chance to rate and comment on the ideas. If the response of students is large, then the idea will automatically draw the attention and trust of management towards the students. The students also get an opportunity to identify the pros and cons of his idea and rectify the mistakes, if present.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will achieve this goal by Jan 5, 2018.}}</span>

The dilemma in their mind can be erased with ease and they can pave a clear path to what next.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will achieve this goal by Jan 30, 2018.}}</span>

When students show their ideas in action plan, they can gain trust from the management to fund their ideas. This is possible only if they prototype their project.&nbsp; Low-cost prototyping resources are made available for the students in this maker space. This helps them in giving a live demo of their project to the customers and helps them in winning the faith of students.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will achieve this goal by Feb 28, 2018.}}</span>

After passing through the above stages the ideas now are refined and ready to win the trust of stakeholders. This can be achieved by engaging students and stakeholders in interactive sessions on specified days (most probably the weekends). If the students are successful in proving themselves, they will surely experience an immense trust from the management in the form of funding for their projects.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will achieve this goal by April 5, 2018.}}</span>
